Would you get a silver or white silverish filling over a tooth colored one?!
Question: Is there is a difference? I mean do they both last the same amount of time?

Silver/white silverish fillings last somewhat longer and are also less expensive generally. Tooth colored fillings may not last as long, but look much nicer, but might cost slightly more.
Some people worry about the ingredients in silver/white silverish fillings, but it is considered safe since the ingredients are "inert", meaning that they won't leak or change form or anything bad.
Your dentist who will be doing the fillings can give you more information and recommend which type of fillings will be better for you.....either one will last a long time and will also solve the problem of the cavity.
